" What the fuck?! " Except for Reign and some of his friends, most of the people behind him fell to their knees as they got exposed by my ability.
I made sure my ability was only working on those in front of me, which was a little difficult to do. I still managed to do it somehow although not perfect as I could see some people look uncomfortable behind me.
Regardless, my point was set that I wasn't easy to mess with, and I don't plan on sitting out or pretending to be weak on anything.
" Wha- Is that an ability? "
Shock and confusion filled the expression of everyone nearby, even Rena and Reign weren't an exception.
" Anyways, to answer your question again. I'm Mon Weise, a student of the Guardian school, Sense. "
I bowed down with a friendly smile like I didn't just embarrass the people in front of me.
" Oh? This is quite the first time for me. Making these rich young masters bow down in front of a commoner. " Rena who seemed to have regained her composure looked at me with quite a cunning smile.
This is why...
Rena Mein wasn't mentioned much at the start of the story, but during the midterm examination, her leadership skills and innate ability radiated throughout the entire practical exam giving difficulties to the pillars.
She was pretty much the authentic gem hidden in this pit of fakes.
Reign and Rena were clearly fighting for the class president position, I'm guessing mainly due to the world ranking of their guilds. The Hart Guild was placed at the 19th slot just one place behind the Mein Corps.
In the main story, Reign only lasted until the first few arcs before going crazy over dragonblood, so Rena was the ultimate victor here, and really the only one that deserves the position. She was a commander and I'm not confident in competing against her when it comes to leadership.
I don't have plans on being the leader of this class anyways, I'm more built to become the one who makes the leader move. She might be a better leader, but I'm confident in my knowledge and strategies.
Besides having a scapegoat as I fight these families with strong influence, isn't really the worst idea.
" You fuckin-... " Enraged by Rena's comment some of the guys behind Reign stood up with an enraged expressions on their faces.
" Oh? Are you trying to fight right here right now? " Rena who had her arms crossed warned the dude who was ready to swing.
" Wha- You fu... Are you trying to protect a commoner?! " He exclaims in anger removing all the filters he had when he was playing elegant earlier.
" I'm protecting a future prospect of my squad. " She smiles as she looks at me with her cat-like eyes.
Well, I'm touched what can I say?
Though she was probably thinking about removing a hard competitor and gaining a dependable partner all while removing the troubles from facing these young masters as she says that, that was what I was trying to do anyway.
It might seem like a negotiation to her, but it was already a deal for me.
" Thank you for standing up for me young mistress. " I say with an elegant bow.
" Oh are perhaps familiar with high-class manners? " She says with a wide smile on her face.
" Regardless, I'm Rena Mein, of the Mein Corps. I'd like to welcome you to our side, Mon. "
She seems happy with this interaction, but I couldn't say the same for others in the group. Some look at me disgusted with my social class while some look at me disgusted due to me being what seems to them as a sycophant.
Well, it's not like I could change the opinion of others anyways. But as long as Rena could make them move, all I need to do is gain her trust.
But it's going to be hard to show off in front of a capable woman.
As I shake her hands, the doors leading to the room open. A well-built man who looks around his mid-30s walks inside with some books and a clipboard in his hands.
" Take a seat. " He says with a deep voice.
He doesn't look menacing at all. He looks like the average office worker as he enters the room, but the temperament he gives off is that of a veteran who went back from war.
Which is probably the case...
" Good morning class, I'm Froil Gear or Mr. Froil Gear for you guys. I'm an A-Rank Guardian and your instructor for this whole semester and I'm in charge of handling your section. "
With only the mention of his name, almost every student looks at each other in worry.
" Froil Gear? He's the nephew of the Guild Leader of the 13th-ranked guild, right? "
Well, he is. The structure of this class is too stubborn for just a strong Guardian to lead. Yes, he could discipline them, but some people here are just too crazy that I'm sure there are going to be complications in one way or another.
Having an instructor whose guild is higher than everyone here would result in proper respect.
" I've heard about your worries and suggestions as I walk through the alley and... "
Hear us from that far? Damn, guess that A rank isn't just for show. Though In the story, he was always a part of every single plot, not because he's strong or anything, but because he's got an odd thing about him, which I'm sure he's about to show.
" It's pretty fucking interesting, isn't it? " He says as a wide grin erupts from his face. The deep voice from earlier turned high like he was talking to a baby.
...
" ...e - excuse me? " The class went insanely quiet. All the muttering from earlier turned mute as if a serial killer looked them straight in the eyes. Well, It does kinda feel like that doesn't it?
" That little suggestion of who wants to be the strongest in class... It's hella fucking fun! "
Everyone looks at Sir Froil in either confusion or fear. He looked incredibly scary due to his smile. And that was why the students were confused. Why would they let a murderer teach them?
" A whole party of expression. very wonderful. " He says with a wide smile.
" I'm sure every single one of you motherfuckers, has ambition... An ambition that makes jealousy... AND JEALOUSY THAT RESULTS IN HATE! "
" And since AUTHORITY is too boring and it's just... common utility among each one of you. Why don't I let you set a ranking just for this section, so we could see POWER at work instead? "
"Let's make a new ranking everyone! .... And beat each other up! " He laughs loudly all while holding his stomach with exaggerated movements.
